Thank you everyone. This plant is history! I do think it will fill my garden waste bin about three times mind; and the Council collect only twice a month! Thanks againWobbly

My pleasure.

Delighted to have helped. It is just exquisite when you look closely a single flower.

Yes ....Verbena bonariensis.

Many thanks Silver surfer, i`ll let her know so she can read up on how to keep it happy.
